5. Run less like I am being chased by a frenzied knife wielding lunatic. Slow down, smell those damn daisies

6. Write more shit here. Even if it's shit. Just. Write. It.

7. Go to more 3D movies with the French but spend less time laughing at him in his 3D goggles.

8. Print some of my kazillion photos

9. Hold my children's hands while they still let me.

10. Lie like a starfish on sand and listen to the beat of my heart. Herbal, but a resolution nonetheless.

11. Talk to more internet types. You people are awesome. Why have I never thought of making this a two-way conversation?

12. Find out how those promo cars get onto the upper level of shopping centres.

13. Read every night with my children.

14. Get over it.

15. DO NOT have a cigarette when the Kafkaesque bureacracy of work is driving me up the wall.

16. No laughing like a hyena in the hallways at work. Unsettling for public servants.

17. Find someone at work who will have an argument with me in my lunchbreak. I don't care what it's about Transcendental Meditation, Team Edward vs Team Jacob, the back catalogue of Johnny Cash. Anything.

Wow. What a beautiful comment, Lex. I think you are all those things and so much more. Would love to see you again one of these days when you are heading to Canberra. You guys would be most welcome to bunk here. Wishing all the best and brightest to you in this brand spanking new year. Xxxxxxxxx

Did you take that fabulous dressing table home? Ai yi yi. All worthwhile resolutions. The laughing like a hyena I like. I've had to tone my outbursts down - people stopped and hovered over their keyboards with fear in their eyes. That and there's not been much funny happen at work for a while. Happy New Year Ms Rummage.
